I don't often use tampons, I am actually a die-hard fanatic of the Moon Cup. Thing is, even though I can usually predict when I'm going to start my period, Mother Nature sometimes likes to shake things up by starting my flow when I'm away from home.Read more

I absolutely adore my smartphone, I keep it within arm's reach nearly constantly. But I suppose I'm not alone in that distinction. One problem with my phone is that it's a compact little model that doesn't fit with any of the battery extenders that seem designed specifically for iPhones and Samsung …Read more
